UPS driver robbed at gunpoint

TRENTON ó Police are investigating the robbery of a UPS driver that happened yesterday on the 1400 block of Greenwood Avenue.

At 12:45 p.m. the driver returned to his truck to find a man aged 18-21 wearing dark clothing brandishing a silver handgun.

The suspect demanded the driverís cell phone, then went inside the delivery truck with the driver at gunpoint. The suspect went through packages on the truck, taking additional cell phones before fleeing the scene.

According to UPS spokesman Dan McMackin, following the robbery, the driver called UPS management to tell them what happened. Management told the driver to immediately return to the UPS customer center in Trenton and that he and management would go to the police station to report the crime. The driver did not return to his route and was given the rest of the day and the following day off.

The TPD said the driver and management arrived at the station at 4:45 p.m., seemingly strange since it was three hours after the robbery occurred. McMackin did not have the exact time in which the crime was initially reported to management by the driver.
